Digital painting video tutorial Creature concept design

Draw and paint chimera.  Digital painting video tutorial Creature concept design. Here is the final painting of the creature Chimera (well, it is 95% there I just thought I would touch up some of the stuff a little bit more.) Continue from the previous post, Draw and Paint mythology creature Chimera. Also if you can to watch the video of how to draw a lion prior to the painting video tutorial I have on this post just plain old drawing and sketching.

Anyway, I would probably do more of the creatures in the up coming post...and possibly mecha. Depending on what I see and what inspire me at the moment. But for sure I will always draw, paint and keep updating this blog, hopefully forever. And hopefully I will get better as I do more and more. That usually how it works, the more you draw or paint and study, the better you get. Sometimes slow, but sometimes you have a break through...but as long as you do it and it makes you happy then nothing else really matters.

So this one I finish up the rendering of the creature, add the serpent tail, then the figure that later on becomes the Monkey king for no particular reason. The figure is there for the sole reason of exaggerating the massive scale and size of the Chimera monster. Then I thought it would be kind of fun to put Sun Wukong there just because it does not make sense that the Greek Mythology would mix up with Eastern Mythical figures. Below are the step by step and the final rendition of the painting.

Nice demo in the video brother. I really enjoyed it.

I was asking what is the favorite video of yours for the community and your followers! It would be nice to know which one your followers like most...
To me, I really like the Titan painting you did quite a while back:

Thanks

Marvelous cultural similarity between your Chimera and Goya`s Saturn eating his child. Very nice, Xia, :)
